Background. NT-proBNP may be useful for ruling out heart failure in primary health care. In this study we examined the analytical quality of NT-proBNP in primary health care on the Cobas h 232 point-of-care instrument compared with measurements performed in a hospital laboratory. Materials and methods. Blood samples requested for NT-proBNP were collected in primary health care (n = 95) and in a ho
Popular Abstract in Swedish Fallolyckor hos äldre -en tyst epidemi Fallolyckor hos äldre är idag ett omfattande men underrapporterat hälsoproblem. Cirka 1,600 individer, en huvuddel äldre, avlider årligen i Sverige till följd av ett fall. Detta kan jämföras med 1,400 respektive 2,400 individer som avlider årligen av bröst- och prostatacancer. Strax under 300 individer dör årligen i trafiken i SveIn a ‘greying world’ with aging populations, falls in the elderly are a challenge to the health care system as they are associated with substantial mortality and morbidity. Apart from physical injuries, the consequences of falls are broad, with additional psychological and social consequences. The overall objective of this dissertation was to study falls and related risk factors, predictors, and c
Although the elderly have a substantially higher drug use than younger patients, even after adjustment for multimorbidity, there is limited knowledge about the elderly's indication for treatment. It is essential for elderly patients to have a well-planned drug therapy. The first step towards a correct and safe drug therapy is to ensure that the patient's drugs have an indication, i.e. correct diag
De Saxiska byarna i Transsylvanien karaktäriseras av sina befästa kyrkor och av en bystruktur som förblivit oförändrad sedan medeltiden. Idag finns sju av dessa hundratals byar listade på UNE-SCOs världsarvslista, men det finns ett stort värde i att arbeta för att bevara ännu fler. De utgör en viktig del av regionens kulturlandskap och identitet. Jag har själv en mycket stark personlig koppling ti
The purpose of this study is to investigate whether sustainability action can increase investment efficiency in relatively difficult industries. The study is conducted quantitatively. The ESG Score and the financial data are taken from Revinitiv (Popularly known as Thomson Reuters). The financial data are combined and calculated to make the control variables and investment efficiency. And the stud
This thesis examines the discourses produced by the International Organization for Migration in relation to the phenomenon of ‘climate migration’ in order to identify the main problematization and subsequent implications. Using Carol Bacchi’s approach entitled “What’s the problem represented to be?” and conducting a qualitative policy analysis of 13 documents written by the IOM between 2007-2022,
Migration is a globally studied social issue, that can cause changes in the demographic composition of the population and the structure of society. Azerbaijan has been experiencing different waves of migration in the country since gaining its independence. One of the largest waves is the emigration from rural to urban areas. Although there are studies focusing on why people leave the villages, th
This study aims to understand the construction process of legitimizing extrajudicial killings through analyzing text from print and electronic media and how they have been portrayed to the audience. It puts an effort to understand how Bangladesh government legitimize extra-judicial killings within a democratic framework of a country. Extrajudicial killing is a threat to modern societies. It has ad
This thesis addresses different aspects of the legal perspective on the patentability, valuation, and scope of biotech patents in the European Union and the United States when mergers & acquisitions transactions are in question. To facilitate mergers & acquisition of a biotechnology company a specific regulatory environment must be established, particularly what effects the most such trans
Present uncertainties in key ventilation parameters, characterising the fire performance of facades, has necessitated clarification in the foundational understanding of the Fire Science Body of Knowledge. A test program conducted in collaboration between Lunds Universitet and the Kingspan Group, studied the influence of cavity widths and lateral ventilation conditions on the fire behaviour within
Denna reflekterande del av min konstnärliga kandidatexamen började med en nyfikenhet av mina rörelser vid pianot. Jag ville reflektera över hur jag själv uppfattar mina egna rörelser, och varför jag rör mig hur jag gör, och även vilket syfte dessa rörelser har utöver de tekniska krav som musiken ställer på min kropp. Jag valde tre olika videos av framträdande, en live-konsert, en live-streamad konThis reflective part of my Bachelor’s degree started with an increased curiosity into how I move my body whilst at the piano. I wanted to reflect on how I perceive my own movements, on why I move like I do, and what purpose these movements may have beyond the way I need to move to handle any technical difficulties. I chose three different videos of performances, one live concert, one live streamed
Strict deportation policies have emerged as an increasingly popular way for more developed countries to tackle the issue of irregular migration. Estimations tell us that more that 3 million Afghan refugees will be deported in 2017 and it is argued that such massive returns to Afghanistan, despite the ongoing and escalated conflict, will risk contributing to severe human right violations as well as
Klinopyroxen har förmågan att kristallisera över ett stort intervall av temperatur, tryck och kemisk sammansättning; därför är de optimala för att studera historien för ett magmatiskt system. I den här uppsatsen analyserades fyra klinopyroxenkristaller i en ankaramit med fokus på kemi och zonering. Ankaramitprovet härstammar från Tenomassivet, Teneriffa, och bildades troligtvis i ett utbrott som sClinopyroxenes have the ability to crystallize over and respond to a large range of temperatures, pressures and chemical compositions, and thus, they are ideal for studies regarding the history of magmatic systems. In this thesis, the chemistry and zoning of four clinopyroxene crystals from an ankaramite sample from the Teno massif, Tenerife, were analysed. The ankaramites in Teno massif were, acc
Sports seem to present a context of “Bracketed Morality” in which normal moral rules do not apply. Athletes utilise “Moral Disengagement” (MD) to temporarily suspend their morality in order to engage in otherwise unacceptable behaviour. Most research in this field focuses on moral judgements of the self, disregarding judgements made of other actors. The present study examined 117 athletes from 13
The world's fisheries have been in decline for more than forty years. In Mexico, about 80% of the fishery resources are at maximum capacity levels or overexploited. Given the magnitude of the problem, there is a need for solutions that involve all actors in the fish supply chain. However, solutions and research on how actors in the middle of the supply chain such as restaurants can be integrat
Purpose – The purpose of this thesis is to provide an overview of all relevant peer-reviewed articles on folksonomies, social tagging and social bookmarking as knowledge organisation systems within the field of Library and Information Science by reviewing the current state of research on these systems of managing knowledge. Method – I use the systematic literature review method in order to systema
This research tries to prescribe Chinese trade impact on Africa by analyzing the underlying link between trade openness and growth. We invoke trade openness theoretical and methodological tools to instrument our explanatory variable and control for causation, allowing us to measure the relationship between geographical component of trade and the level of income. We find no significant relationship
